Housing Minister Phil Heatley has announced that from the 3rd February, Maori who want to build on their ancestral land will have an opportunity through an innovative partnership between Housing New Zealand Corporation and Kiwibank.

The partnership was formally recognised at the Beehive when Housing New Zealand and Kiwibank signed a participation agreement to offer a home ownership product called Kāinga Whenua.

Te Roroa has agreed to explore the possibility of establishing the first National Kauri Park in Waipoua. The process will go through a number of stages. The first stage, and the one to which Te Roroa has agreed to, is the exploration of the opportunity and possibility. To do this an investigation team has been established by the Department of Conservation that includes members of the Te Roroa Governance group - Te Roroa Whatu Ora Trust and Te Roroa operational staff.

As many of you will know, in recent times Te Roroa has achieved settlement of our long-standing claim with the Crown. This signals the beginning of a new era for us. We have now transitioned from a claimant group in a generational struggle, to a major landowner and stakeholder in Te Tai Tokerau. This new position presents us with further challenges as we move forward, in building a future for Te Roroa.
